Effectively Managing Bear Attractants

Managing access to garbage and other attractants is the most important action to take to keep people and bears safe in our community. Under the Provincial Wildlife Act, it is illegal for anyone to intentionally or negligently feed and/or attract bears and other types of wildlife. Attractant management is also addressed in the City’s Solid Waste Bylaw which stipulates requirements on how waste, recyclables and organics material needs to be managed. It is important to familiarize yourself and comply with the City’s Solid Waste Bylaw.
